Cars from all different classes were driven in by their owners and parked along the avenue, which was closed down, so car enthusiasts could get a first-hand look at them.

"I like just the style and how they're made, usually if they are old they are handmade and I just like first how they are fast," said 11-year-old George Higbie of Carmel.

Some of the vehicles were drawing more attention than others, like Steve McQueen's last special order Porsche which is headed to auction this Saturday.

"It's a special car because it is a 930 Turbo Carrera first series car which has become quite rare and valuable in the market today," said Mike Regalia with Regalia Concours Restoration, who is involved in selling the car at the Mecum Auctions event.

Also at the Concours on the Avenue, Chad McQueen, who said the car meant a great deal to his dad and so did the charity that will benefit from its sale

"The Boys Republic, that Mike's going to give some love to when it sells, is a place my dad grew up when he was abandoned, and he was very close to, so we hope it brings a big sell for Mike and the boys," McQueen said.

Another draw on Tuesday was the Auto Lux event at the Stanton Center in Monterey where the Vicci 6.2 Emperor by DiMora Motors made its America debut.

The Vicci 6.2 Emperor is a custom car and rolling work of art. The car is one of 25 in a series. DiMora is making each one paired with a painting by Thai artist Master Lee Sun-Don.

The hood of the car is painted to exactly replicate the artist's work and gold leaf is used in the paint job.

The car sold for $1.2 million and is expected to go up in value.

"For the $1.2 million you get the painting along with the car, this is the first true rolling art production car," said Sir Alfred DiMora, the man behind the artistic automotive masterpiece.

The hood alone took more than 300 man hours to complete and the painting on its own sells for $350,000.

"So if you're a collector, you're collecting that painting along with this car, so it is the first time you get to collect both, you get to hang it and you get to drive it," DiMora said.

The car is pretty fast too. The body is carbon fiber, making it super light, and underneath is racing suspension. When you open up the hood you'll find a 430 horse power engine, and yes, more gold.
